Thanks, Chaya. In preparation for our recent move the All Day & Night was dismantled. I saved all of the structures. We moved to a new (to us) house in November. It sits on a full acre and is about twice as big as our old house, the new one is 2500 feet with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. The extra bedroom is 11'x18'. I get to use that room as mine with the caveat that it still must be available for use as a guest room. I also got a 24'x32' shop with a 16'x16' room on the back. Both the shop and the room are finished and insulated. The plan is that the back room off of the shop will eventually become the layout room where the All Day & Night will be reborn. Because of moving and a whole new massive honey do list, which impacts my time and funds, it is just not feasible to even try to start on the All Day & Night right now. So I am going to build an interim 32"x80" door layout, the Arkansas & Louisiana Midland, that the Superintendent has approved for installation into "my room." So, now to get back onto topic, the AD&N is only in the planning stage and must be a 0. The A&LM is the new door layout and is the one that I said is a 1.
I am really glad to see that most are in stages 1-5. This makes me think that model railroading is fresh most of the time and people thinking of new ideas. Mike
Wow, Tad, that house is more than twice the size of mine with three times as many bathrooms. LOL Sounds like you have just about unlimited play-potential in your new setup. Enjoy!
We actually kind of lucked into a really good deal on the place. It was literally around the corner from our old house. An older couple lived there and they both passed away within a couple of months of each other. Their son had talked them into taking a home equity loan against the place. When they died he walked away from it and it went into foreclosure. We jumped on it as soon as it came on the market and they took our offer. If it hadn't been something like that, we would never have been able to get a place like that.
